The Furys
Published by Open Road Media
In this sprawling saga, one woman tries to hold a working-class family together as greed, poverty, and war push them apart. The Furys are a quintessential family of Irish immigrants living in an English port town, and James Hanley tells their story with beauty and vigor.
The epic tale begins in The Furys (1935), on the day when Mrs. Fury learns her beloved son Peter has been forced out of seminary—a decision that will mean cataclysm for the entire clan. In The Secret Journey (1936), Mrs. Fury struggles to escape the debt she has taken on to finance Peter’s education, leading to a tragedy that the family deals with in Our Time Is Gone (1940). Winter Song (1950) begins with Mrs. Fury’s husband returning from a shipwreck, and the saga concludes with An End and a Beginning (1958) as Peter looks for a home in a world that doesn’t seem to want him anymore.
